Accuracy & privacy

Accuracy you can verify. Privacy you can count on.

For immigrants, getting the form right isn’t optional — and neither is protecting the information on it. Here is exactly how we keep your case accurate and your data safe.

Built for accuracy

Two layers of checking — strict rules plus AI — catch the mistakes that quietly delay or deny cases.

Built for privacy

Your form answers are encrypted, never sold, and always under your control.

AI review with less exposed data

Direct identifiers are minimized before AI review, and AI outages no longer unlock downloads.

Sensitive actions are logged

We record privacy-critical events like answer saves, encrypted-data access, PDF generation, downloads, and payments.

PDF email is opt-in

A completed form is only emailed when you explicitly ask for a copy and provide the recipient address.

Controlled PDF downloads

Downloads go through an authenticated app route first, then redirect to a short-lived secure file link.

How we keep it accurate

Two checks stand between you and a costly mistake.

Strict rule checks that block real errors

Before you can download, a deterministic validation layer enforces the hard requirements of each form — required fields, valid dates, formats USCIS demands. If something is genuinely wrong, it stops you. This isn’t a guess; it’s a rule.

An AI second read, the way an adjudicator sees it

Our AI reviews your answers the way a USCIS officer would — surfacing inconsistencies, blanks, and the common slips that trigger requests for evidence. It advises and warns; it never silently changes your answers.

Eligibility guidance where people slip most

The eligibility category and basis are where most applications go wrong. We help you choose correctly and explain why — in plain language, before it’s locked into the form.

Formatted exactly as USCIS expects

Your finished PDF matches the official form layout precisely, so nothing gets misread or rejected for formatting.

How we protect your data

Your information is encrypted at every step.

AES-256 encryption at rest

Everything you enter is stored encrypted with AES-256 — the same standard banks and governments rely on. Even at rest, your data is unreadable without the keys.

Encrypted in transit (TLS)

Every byte between your device and our servers travels over TLS, so your answers can’t be intercepted on the way.

Never sold to advertisers or brokers

We make money when you download a form — never by selling your data. When you run AI review, minimized form facts are processed by our AI provider only to review your answers.

You stay in control

Your case belongs to you. You can review what we have and request deletion at any time. We keep only what’s needed to prepare your forms.

A clear, honest boundary.
